Before you start

Planning some Christmas nibbles? Reach for the spuds…seriously. Of all the things an air fryer transforms, potatoes are the most impressive – and tinned new potatoes are not only super speedy but they also crisp up beautifully too. They become like a baked spud crossed with a potato wedge, offering the buttery fluffiness of the former with the crisp-fried decadence of the latter.

Before you start

Ingredients

560g tin new potatoes (drained weight 360g)
1 tsp olive oil
100g smoked salmon
60g crème fraîche
1 tbsp finely chopped chives

Useful to have

Piping bag

Method

Heat the air fryer to 190°C. Drain the potatoes, toss with the oil and some salt and pepper. Air-fry for 20-25 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through, until crisp and golden.
Slice the salmon into around 20 thin strips, then roll up into little roses and put them on top of the cooked spuds. Using a teaspoon or piping bag, add a dot of crème fraîche on top, then sprinkle with chives and pepper. Serve warm.
